Any other quitters?

So I know I can't be the other one who has quit smoking. I've done very well but it's still hard sometimes. So I figured I'd try to see if there were any other ladies out there in this process. If there's enough of us maybe we can post here when we are having a tough time to help us get over the craving.

I think it's harder for me this time because I'm on my own for this pregnancy so it's kind of lonely which makes it tough.

Meeeee. It is easier at times than others to not smoke butim doing it. I used to smoke about a half a pack or more a day. However, since finding out last Saturday that I'm preggo, I believe I have had one cigarette total and that one cigarette lasted the whole week. We van do this. 😊

😕 sorry you are alone. I quit with my first and never went back-- five years later but I never did quit coffee. Drank it all the way through both previous and this pregnancy. I miss my wine now but no longer miss smoking.

I was a pack a day smoker before i just got a light positive two days ago. Im only 12 dpo today and Ive cut back a ton. I'm hoping to fully quit by the end of this weekend! Any advice or support would be extremely welcome!

Yup. It's really hard for me to quit. I've cut back a lot.. But my bf...

Yup. It's really hard for me to quit. I've cut back a lot.. But my bf is a smoker and its hard living with someone that smokes also. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow. I fear I won't be able to. 😯

I know how this is my son's father smokes so when I was pregnant and with him it was hard being around that. I don't think I fully quit because every couple days I might have a couple drags off of his. My son wasn't born early and is super healthy and smart. This time my goal is to stop completely.

I quit with my first one the month prior to getting pregnant (I thought that was hindering me). Then I picked it up again and stopped the morning I got a positive. Some days it's tough but I figure it's worth it

I quit cold turkey when I found out. It's really difficult because I'm a half pack a day person and with my stressful job, all I want is a puff. I'm 6 weeks pregnant and current having smokers flu. I'm coughing out green stuff. Hahaha. I hope this gets over soon. I wanted to take otc meds but I can't IT my harm my little pickle.

I quit cold turkey the morning I found out that I was pregnant. And its not hard for me at all. It isn't about me anymore. I taking care of another human. Take care of your baby inside as you would outside. No smoking or drinking. No caffeine. Its only for 9 months. Its doable. Good luck.
